Kittiwake- Beddington Farmlands

The purple patch continues. With strong north winds we were hoping for a displaced seabird and this adult Kittiwake appeared in the afternoon. Also a Black-tailed Godwit this morning and one Arctic Tern.Two Yellow Wagtails, 1 Common Sandpiper and 1 LRP were feeding on the lake edge. Shelduck numbers are now up to 14.3 male and 1 female Gadwall were displaying and flying round and looks like they are thinking about breeding.We have been keeping a bank holiday list and added three gulls today- Great Black-backed, Yellow-legged and the Kittiwake.

About Me

This is my birding and nature blog/profile mostly about my local patch Beddington Farmlands which is being developed into a nature reserve within the Wandle Valley Regional Park in South London. I live and work from Beddington Farmlands and operate Little Oak, an environmental management company that looks after green spaces in our local area. (Recently due to family commitments I've been living between London and Oxford and spending more time birding in Oxfordshire). I also have my foreign patch on the Azores where I escape to at every available opportunity. Occasionally I might leave my patches for a bit of general birding, exploring in the mobile obs (the campervan) and do a bit of music as a hobby. For more on my projects click on 'What's it all about?' on my blog.
